6 Nano T SERIES SUSPENDED CEILING GRIDS RECEIVING AND INSPECTION Caution: For skids larger than Four (4) Feet wide, Engineered Air recommends the use of Eight (8) Foot forks on all forklifts whether the modules are being removed from the freight carrier s truck or being moved around the construction site. This will reduce the risk of property damage, injury, or death. The EngA Ceiling Grid Modules are carefully constructed and inspected prior to shipment to insure the highest standards of quality and performance. These modules are double wrapped in the factory, unless more is required by specification. Shipped loose hardware is not wrapped unless otherwise specified. Carefully inspect all parts after receiving them from the transporting agent. The Grid Modules are pre cleaned and then wrapped, do not un wrap them outdoors or in a dirty environment. Carefully inspect all parts for any damage that may have occurred in transit. Any damage must be reported immediately to the carrier and the required damage report filed. Isolate damaged equipment in a separate holding area to prevent it from being installed. Compare parts with the shipping documentation to make sure your shipment is correct, free of damage and complete. Your signature verifies that you have received all equipment in satisfactory condition. Crate Identification: Each crate prepared by EngA is given a thorough inspection and all contents are recorded by use of a factory printed ship loose parts list. Two inventory lists are then shipped with each crate describing the contents and quantity of each item contained within the crate. One list is shipped inside the crate and the second is placed in an envelope and attached to the outside of the crate. Each crate will then receive a crate number. This crate number can also be found on the packing list. Inventory: EngA recommends inventorying all crated items. As crates are opened and parts are used during installation of the ceiling system, often parts are lost or misplaced. To prevent this from occurring, mark off items as they are removed from the crate. This will help minimize back charges caused by having to replace lost or misplaced parts. If any item is missing from the crate please notify Engineered Air immediately. Caution: STORING PRODUCT The Engineered Air grid modules are wrapped with two (2) or more layers of protection. Each layer may be removed at different protocol levels and transport the grid module from the most practical exposed areas to the more stringent protocol levels. Engineered Air recommends the use of a padded platform accessible by a forklift. Most damage occurs when direct pressure is placed upon individual grid members. Engineered Air cleanroom components are comprised of sensitive materials intended for application in spaces which require validation and certification. The material has been completely cleaned and carefully packaged to meet the required industry standards prior to leaving the factory. It is the responsibility of the contractor or end user (receiving company) that receives the product to provide proper storage. Cleanroom components shall not be left outside in the elements. Due to the delicate nature of IOM 59 6 of 11 June 2017

7 Nano T SERIES SUSPENDED CEILING GRIDS the product inside the package, all components must be stored in a conditioned space to avoid damage from humidity and temperature effects. Once the receiving company accepts the shipment (see receiving and inspection), it becomes the property of the receiver. It is the receiving company s obligation to provide proper storage Engineered Air will not be liable for internal damage which has occurred through improper storage by the receiving company. Any costs associated to fix this damage will be the sole responsibility of the receiving company. STAGING GRID MODULES The EngA grid modules are wrapped with two (2) or more layers of protection. Each layer may be removed at different protocol levels and transport the grid module from the most particle exposed areas to the more stringent protocol levels. EngA recommends use of a padded platform accessible by a forklift. Most damage occurs when direct pressure is placed upon individual grid members. INSTALLING GRID MODULES Double Check Each Grid: Verify all suspension rods and grid to grid holes are in the correct location and orientation. Verify electrical connection and sprinkler pipe connection is in the correct position. Verify pigtails for light bar connections are visible and located on the proper side. To help with grid orientation, grid modules have tag labels affixed in the northwest corner of the grid. See submittal layout for room orientation. Lift Grid Modules into Position: Lift grid into position using a protected surface platform or rigging attached to the suspension holes or rods. WHEN RIGGING, DO NOT RIG HOLES AT AN ANGLE. Verify top and sides are lined up evenly. NOTE: Throughout the installation procedure, the lift will be required to hold up the grid module. Use a lift that is suited for grid module weight and max capacity. Use caution to not damage or pinch pig tail wiring when mating adjacent grid modules. Grid Mating Surface: Prior to installation of adjacent grid modules, clean mating surface on both grid modules. DO NOT APPLY CAULKING TO MATING SURFACES. Applying caulking to mating surfaces will increase overall room dimensions as a completed system, create alignment complications with adjoining structural hardware and cause intersecting lenses to not fit properly. Caulking should only be applied at adjoining grid seams as shown. Refer to submittal for section details. Attachment to Suspension Blocks: Attach suspension blocks (extrusion) to the top of each grid module using the supplied (1/2 ) hardware kit. Turn the supplied threaded rod into the extrusion until it bottoms out in the ceiling extrusion nut groove. Tighten the hex nut against the extrusion to prevent the rod from backing out. The Grid may now be attached to the turnbuckles and to the ceiling for suspension. Refer to job specific field connections, drawings, and notes on the submittal. Torque requirements for Fasteners: Suspension Block to Grid Module connections shall be: Snug Tight AISC (American Institute of Steel Construction) and RCSC (Research Council on Structural Connections) defines Snug Tight as: the condition that exists when all of the plies in a connection have been pulled into firm contact by the bolts in the joint and all of the bolts in the joint have been tightened sufficiently to prevent the removal of the nuts without the use of a wrench. IOM 59 7 of 11 June 2017

8 Nano T SERIES SUSPENDED CEILING GRIDS Attachment of Adjacent Grid Modules: After each assembly has been lifted into position and secured to the structure assembly, proceed to install and align proper fasteners for the grid to grid mating surfaces. Verify top and sides of module are lined up evenly. First install fasteners in four (4) places on the long side and then two (2) places on the short side. Once proper alignment of grid is completed the remaining fasteners should be installed. Torque requirements for Fasteners: Grid to Grid Module connections shall be: Snug Tight Leveling of Ceiling Grid: The overall ceiling system shall be leveled within inch in 10 feet and not over inch throughout the room. Check and level the ceiling grid modules using a laser transit. Adjust the level by turning the turnbuckle connections on the threaded rod. Once leveled; snug the locking nut onto the turnbuckle. PROTECTING THE SYSTEM Structural Stability: During construction and installation, the contractor shall be responsible for the structural stability of the system. The structure shown on the EngA drawings has been designed for stability under the FINAL installed configuration only. Electrical: Close off all exposed wire ends by use of appropriate wire nuts. Wrapped Parts: Keep all items wrapped for maximum protection until it is absolutely necessary to remove the wrapping and use those components. Close off all Openings: To minimize particle contamination during construction and installation, close off all exposed openings. Mask off Exposed Areas: EngA recommends masking off exposed areas relating to the interior of a grid. This will minimize cleanup and wipe down prior to any gel prep and start up. CAULKING REQUIREMENTS Engineered Air provides caulk sealant for filling voids where air may penetrate. Sealing of the system is done upon complete installation of the EngA system and is the responsibility of the install contractor. All grid systems come pre sealed with caulking in all possible penetrating seams. Due to circumstances beyond our control during shipping, sealant may dislodge in areas requiring a seal. EngA recommends each unit be inspected for apparent loosening of sealant and reapplication shall be required if this condition occurs. Completely caulk all grid seams and around all grid penetrations. Additional sealing locations include but are not limited to: electrical penetrations, sprinkler pipe penetrations, grounding screws, damper ports, etc. If silicone caulking is required by the client, use approved primer on the mating surfaces prior to caulking. Follow product instructions for cure time prior to using caulking. USE ONLY approved caulking! Caulking shall meet all customer specification requirements and be factory approved for our system prior to installation. See submittal for approved caulking. IOM 59 8 of 11 June 2017

9 Nano T SERIES SUSPENDED CEILING GRIDS ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS Ceiling Grid Modules come pre wired at the factory with light bar assemblies built into the grid system. Each system has a source grid that receives the power supply from the main facility power. Due to lighting requirements and cleanroom design, some light fixtures may need to be installed in the field by others. Grid to Grid Connections: Along the grid level there are two types of electrical lines that require connecting procedures: High Voltage and Low Voltage wiring. Refer to job specific field connections, electrical drawings, and the submittal. High Voltage Connections may be located above and/or within the grid. The connection for the high voltage wiring should only be performed by a licensed electrician and must follow all applicable electrical codes. Please refer to the submittal layout drawing and locate the electrical sheet for exact power supply locations. This drawing will identify the grids associated with each circuit. Amperages were calculated according to the maximum amps allowable for each grid module. DO NOT exceed the number of lamps per circuit unless the change is approved by the Engineered Air. Where applicable, cover electrical connections, at the module joints, with the supplied wire separator cover. Refer to the job specific drawing in the submittal. Low Voltage is located in the lower section of the grid. The connection for the low voltage wiring should only be performed by a licensed electrician and must follow all applicable electrical codes. Use listed/certified connections. Because grid modules are INTERTEK (ETL) labeled prior to it leaving the factory, any field modifications are the responsibility of the field contractor. Field modifications to the electrical fixtures may be separately listed with INTERTEK (ETL), at the contractor s expense. FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM (SPRINKLER) CONNECTIONS It is the sprinkler contractor s responsibility to hard pipe all sprinkler mains and branch lines to the connections in the grid modules and attach all sprinkler heads. After installation, they should be pressure tested to confirm that they meet all applicable fire sprinkler codes. Ceiling Grid Modules: The sprinkler connection size is determined by the number of sprinkler heads. Refer to job specific sizes, drawings, and notes on the submittal. Sprinkler heads may be shipped loose. All sprinkler heads must be installed by a licensed fire protection contractor. Follow the sprinkler head manufacturer s installation instructions. Over tightening may cause the system to leak and can cause damage to the threads of the sprinkler head. PERIMETER GRID AND WALL CLOSURE When the cleanroom system includes wall closure provisions, EngA will provide wall closure kits for head track installation and/or closure angles. The kits are provided for use on two foot centers and include a two piece IOM 59 9 of 11 June 2017

10 Nano T SERIES SUSPENDED CEILING GRIDS hanging clip and hardware. Refer to job specific sizes, drawings, and the submittal. Installation of these field installed components is by others. FILTERS INSTALLATION FILTER INSTALLATION: Filters are the most delicate part of the system and proper handling is an absolute requirement. Filters should NOT be stacked flat. Filters must be stored indoors and in a conditioned space prior to being installed. Filters are packaged for single or double staging. This is determined by the customer specification. Single stage filters are bagged once and then boxed individually. Double stage filters are bagged twice and then boxed individually or separated by cardboard sleeves. Double staging adds one more step to the particle free process both in the packaging and staging procedures. This enables the installer the assurance of a cleaner product to install when properly staged. When installing a filter, do NOT handle or place any objects on the media of the filter. Doing so may damage the filter which could cause it to fail certification. Inspect each filter prior to installation for any damage. Follow the original filter manufacturer s handling instruction at all times. DO NOT rack or twist the filter frame or put pressure on the filter media at any time. EngA recommends that two people install each filter and only handle the frame of the filter. If Filter Dampers are to be installed on the upstream side of the filters, they should be installed on the filters prior to loading. Dampers may be shipped loose to the field and will be installed by the system installing contractor unless otherwise agreed upon to be installed by the filter manufacturer. Follow damper manufacturer s instructions for installation. Bottom Load Filters: Shall be loaded from the bottom, centered on the knife edge and between the filter clips, and lifted into place. Then rotate the filter clips ¼ turn to lock the filters into position. Filter Removal: Reverse the appropriate installation instructions. Removing filters may take some finesse. This process must be done slowly to keep the GEL from being pulled out of the through. IOM of 11 June 2017

11 Nano T SERIES SUSPENDED CEILING GRIDS LENS INSTALLATION Install the light lens after all the electrical items, ionization and light fixtures have been installed. Inspect the lens for any signs of cracking. If there are any cracks then do not use the lens and use a new lens. NOTE: Whitening on the legs of the lens may be caused by repeated installation and removal of the lens. This is normal and the lens can still be used as long as the lens is not cracked. Install the lens by inserting one leg of the lens into the grid channel, the leg that is away from you. Rotate the other leg of the lens towards you and into the grid channel. This leg may need to be pushed in with your fingers to get the leg inside of the grid channel. Continue this process down the lens towards the opposite end continuously. With the palm of your hand push up along the length of the lens to make sure it is seated in the grid channel properly. DO NOT use excessive force to install the lens as this may cause the lens to crack. To remove the lens, pry between the lens wings and the edge of the grid channel. Do not pry on the prism of the lens; this may cause the lens to crack. DO NOT use alcohol to clean the Acrylic light lens in the grid. Lens material may be cleaned with 100% de ionized water only. BEFORE START UP Clean all powder coated and/or stainless steel surfaces with a 10% Alcohol and 90% deionized water solution. Check application of all sealant at locations in traffic areas. Check all fan compartments for loose debris and remove any foreign objects. Verify all filters and blanks have been installed. Check all connections: Sprinkler, electrical, ducting, etc. for proper fit. Fan Filter Units (FFU s): See Manufacturers O&M Manual prior to start up of system. DO NOT START SYSTEM UNTIL O&M MANUAL HAS BEEN REVIEWED. NOTES IOM of 11 June 2017
